I remember as a kid my boy scout meeting were at the American legion. After meetings we would sneak out the back and go over to the bar side when we were waiting for parents to pick us up. They would fry up smelts on Wednesdays and the lady would give us a basket of fried smelts. It was my favorite day.

[@maximuskiowa7393]

I grew up in Arizona so fresh fish is rare but my questions is: The bones are they a lil crunchy? Do you even notice em? I'm guessing it gives some unique texture.

When I was a kid I went “smelting” with my Grandpa and Dad. We would dip nets in the River or lake (usually Superior) now and then while people stood around laughing and partying until eventually someone pulled out a huge net full and yelled, “They are running!” My Dad, Grandpa and everyone else would just dip huge nets on the end of poles and pull up smelt and dump them into huge 20 gallon brand new garbage cans. Entire towns full of people around the UP would have smelt fries from these catches everyone would share.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

ya now you can still dip net them in the spring when there running 2 quarts a day i think 🤔 I missed it this year definitely going out for that next year !!!

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

Definitely fun watching you guys make your own rigs!

[@TheRealColt]

13:36 minute mark. I can agree with Zach, making your own lures/ sabiki rigs is overwhelmingly pleasant. And boy when they work better than the bought alternatives it’s a special type of satisfaction achieved. I make bigger daylight sabiki‘s for pier fishing for Atlantic mackerel. Imho thee best patterned and most veracious shoaling predatory fish. Beautiful when cooked or smoked and incredible returns when rendering for oil.

[@weldernick3750]

I am from Maine I have never caught a rainbow smelt... I have caught and eaten plenty of normal smelt and absolutely love them!

[@pwrplnt1975]

I love fishing for smelts up here, it's a blast!!

[@fredricknolan3905]

I am use to dipping for my smelt about waist deep and six feet off shore. Usually run from mid-night to dawn fill up a metal garbage can or six if they really thick. Freeze'em for next winter fish fry. That is a true Michigan spring tradition.

Hi, since I'm a huge slingshot fan I decided to watch some videos on KZbin. I stumbled upon your channel and I all subscribed right away then I watched several of your videos and liked them all. I advise you to test the Ebsone slingshot which is on the Yshoot site and I would really like you to test it it costs 70 € I am French I do not understand everything you say but I really appreciate your videos. With this slingshot, you can fire a rice at 10 meter, its French made

[@johanhasslevall7869]

This is amazing! In the parts of Sweden where I'm from we call them "Slom" and we also fry them with a quick dunk in flour and then batter. It's a delicassy here but we usually catch them when they come up the river with a special net with a long handle. Easy as it gets when you time it correctly! We also say they smell like cucumber but maybe that's not just us.
